Congress High Command has invited the TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao to New Delhi for discussions. The invitation attained importance in the backdrop of high expectations that a decision on the Telangana state would be announced by January 20.

According to party sources, the High Command would discuss about bifurcation of the state with KCR. It is learnt that the High Command would chiefly focus on the status of Hyderabad. The ruling party’s leadership has been seriously discussing about making Hyderabad the common capital for Andhra and Telangana states, on the lines of Chandigarh, capital of Punjab and Haryana.
